Alumni bursary

Graduates of the University of London (International Programmes / External System) can enrol on further courses with a bursary of 10% off your course fees.

For the Global MBA, the bursary is worth 20% (valid until the September 2018 intake).

Study again with a discount of 10% off your fees (or 20% off the Global MBA).

The bursary is available for most of our courses, including diplomas, certificates, and individual modules.

The only exceptions are the MSc Information Security and any master's courses offered through the CeFiMS and CeDEP departments at SOAS (But you still qualify for the bursary if you are a graduate of one of these courses.).

The bursary can be used against full course fees and pay-as-you-study options.

To be eligible for a bursary, you must have completed a bachelor's or master's degree with the University of London via the International Programmes / External System.

The bursary applies to all courses and individual modules except the MSc Information Security and postgraduate courses provided by CeDEP / CeFiMS.

The bursary can be applied against registration, examination entry and module fees. It cannot be applied to application fees, accreditation of prior learning fees, module continuation fees, extension of registration fees, examination centre fees or rechecks, nor against fees charged by recognised teaching institutions. The bursary can be applied to resit fees for undergraduate courses but not postgraduate courses.

The bursary will be applied to your fees upon registration.

Bursaries may be awarded in addition to other scholarships and funding.

Bursaries may be reviewed on an annual basis and cannot be transferred to another individual.

Students awarded a bursary who subsequently withdraw from their course of studies may not apply for the bursary again.

Students who take a break in their studies will remain eligible for the bursary provided that they complete a degree in the permitted timescales and pay any relevant fees.

The bursary is only valid for studies that begin (for master's and bachelor degrees) in, or after, the 2016/17 academic year. For certificates, diplomas, and modules, they are only valid for studies that begin in, or after, the 2017/18 academic year. The bursary cannot be retroactively applied to studies before these periods. You must apply for the bursary before you register – if you register and pay before receiving the bursary then the full fee will apply. Refunds will not be applicable for bursary applications made after your payment has been received.
